"The GST fitment committee has also recommended reducing tax rates from 18% to 12% on a number of goods", Sushil Modi said at a function at the Bihar Chamber of Commerce here.

The Centre on Friday slashed tax rate on a wide range of mass use items -from chewing gums to detergents - to 18 per cent from existing 28 per cent, a move expected to provide much needed relief to consumers after rollout of GST regime on July 1 this year. The move comes after govt faced enormous pressure from opposition-ruled states over keeping mass used goods in the 28 per cent bracket. "It will be applicable from 15th of this month", the Finance Minister said.

The 23rd meeting of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) is now underway and is being chaired by Union Finance minister Arun Jaitley.

"All items of common consumption have been reduced from 28 per cent to 18 per cent tax rate". "There is the consensus that slowly 28 per cent slab should be brought to 18 percent".

The panel headed by Assam Finance Minister had also suggested that eating out at hotels that have room tariff of more than Rs. 7,500 should attract a uniform 18 per cent rate instead of any separate category for 5-star hotel, which now falls under the 28 per cent bracket. All these got input tax credit, a facility to set off tax paid on inputs with final tax. So if you go to a restaurant expecting that the bill would be around 500 per person, at the end with the service charges and taxes it would come to be around 700 per person", she said.The Delhi Hotel and Restaurant Owner's Association president, Sandeep Khandelwal, welcomed the lower tax rates and said this would incentivise people to pay taxes."People will not try to cheat on taxes now. The hotels with tariff more than Rs 7500 per night shall be taxed at 18 per cent.

Mr Modi further said that the revenue implication of these will be approximately Rs. 20,000 crore.
